no more blorbo questions what was the first music album that changed you fundamentally
āIt was 3am, so everyone had gone home and it was completely silent. Liam turned to me and said, āI want you by my side all the time. I donāt want you taking your clothes off in any more shite movies. I want to take care of you and your son(James).āĀ It was actually one of the happiest nights of my life.ā

Newbies may not remember this atrocity but I do
I fking hate you noel gallagher.
On the right is new cover of the DM reissue. Noel being Noelā¦ if he wanted to do depressing covers because heās old and depressed he shouldāve fucked with his solo albums and left the bandās albums alone. DM has very optimistic vibes and full of life, it simply doesnāt need it. I wanted to buy but now i donāt. Spotify is enough I guess
peculiar creature
Studio Monnow Valley had the perfect setting for a gothic novel. It was a large estate at the Welsh countryside, surrounded by some woodlands and the river Monnow.
When Oasis arrived there for the recording of Definitely Maybe on a cold winter day, tensions arised early on because the recordings didn't proceed as the band had hoped. Besides technical issues, there were creative differences. The producer only communicated with the band through Noel and treated the rest of them like inconvenient children. But not all was bad. This is the place where Noel wrote Slide Away. The vocals Liam put down for Slide Away are the ones used in the official mix.
Like every haunted mansion in a gothic novel, Studio Monnow Valley had its own ghost story. The original Old Mill House that is seen on the Supersonic single cover is 600 years old. During the Second World War, it's said to have been used as a camp for prisoners of war. In the late 1970s, Ozzy Osbourne used the building as a writing space for Blizzard of Ozz. Parts of the band began to suspect that the house was haunted when a window spontaneously burst. The band held seances with a Ouija board and received strange messages ('RANDY YOU ARE GOING TO DIE'; guitarist Randy Rhoads died three years later). The pentagrams and the various devil-worship symbols that they drew on the walls still exist but have been covered over with soundproofing.
When Oasis arrived in Studio Monnow Valley in the 90s, Liam received Room No. 3, the haunted room, where a dark figure had been spotted in the past. Liam became convinced that the room really was haunted when he went to bed one night and noticed that the furniture had been moved around when he woke up. He'd only find out later that his brother and the other bandmembers would play pranks on him to scare him. It worked. Liam was so terrified that he demanded they change rooms.
Just curious, do you have any favorite Liam interviews (or a list of them)?
Off the very top of my head and in no particular order with some of my favourite excerpts:
"All these old farts, slagging us off - they'll be dead and buried by the time we start getting senile and shitting in our pants. And we can remember all their shit tunes. 'I've Got My Mind Set On You', 'When We Was Fab'. The quicker they fucking go, the better for everyone. Anyway, John and Ringo were The Beatles. Isn't It A Pity? It will be when I meet George Harrison. I'm gonna stand on his head and play golf. I'm gonna do me Roy Castle impersonation on his head. So who wants a fight? Any old fart who's allowed out of the rest home wants a fight with me, yeah? After I've had me steak and kidney pie, I'll be ready. Do you want it? Any of you senile bastards want a ruck? I'll meet you in the pub, six o'clock. Yeah, it's unlikely, you never know, they might turn up. Whoof! I'll do the lot of them. That should be the headline: 'I'll do the lot of you.' I had a dream where I drop-kicked him in the throat, George, and smashed McCartney from here to Jupiter and back. He didn't have his seatbelt on. My name is disturbance. I love the music. I played the game. Thought I wasn't bothered. Then I thought - I do want it. Keith, Mick and any other old bag who decides to get out of bed in the morning to slag us off. Dirty old nipple. Sweaty old mushroom. I wanna meet you in the middle of Primrose Hill. Thursday afternoon, 12 o'clock, on the green. They say they got misquoted. I won't be misquoted. The main thing we're talking about here is this: any dick who wants it, regardless of what time or day or what shoes I've got on. Anyone who wants a rumble will get it because the man is mad for it and that's the end of it. I don't like fighting but you've not been slagged off like me. And there'll be no big chaps around, man. Just me and me dick, man. And I'll hit him with me knob. I've said I wanted to chill, but I've got loads of knobs picking on me anyway, so I might as well say - 'Let's have it!"
āIām on fire inside. Iām just getting to know myself, and thereās things IĀ donāt like. Parts of me are evil, parts of me are good, but Iām locked up in chains so IĀ canāt get it all out. But IĀ opened the doors in my head, threw the key away and let it all in: madness, badness, evilness, goodness, beautifulnessā¦ Itās like that Guinness advert, my head ā aĀ universe in aĀ glass.ā
"Men and religion have broken me. But I understood very fast that I couldn't believe in God anymore but only in myself. And it's true that I became a man in spite of myself. I grew up too fast. I'm 24, but I've seen too many things. I'm still that angry kid and unfortunately I'm not about to calm down."
ā[Noel's songs] is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Heās top. A fantastic songwriter. Heās the devil, isnāt he, man? You might as well sell your soul. Iād sell it. No one knows where it goes. Itās better than turning into a cat, isnāt it? Iād rather get a few quid for it and a few songs. No one knows where your soul goes. What is a soul? Youāve got a voice, a big dick, or a fucking top pair of trainers. Whatās a soul?ā
"I stopped believing in God because of what happened to me mam. Her husband, which unfortunately is my dad, started knocking her about, but she stayed in the relationship because of us. She thought she couldn't get divorced because that meant she couldn't take the body of Christ, which she'd been brought up to believe in. If she'd stayed with him and got battered she'd still be allowed to take the body of Christ. And does it taste good? Does it make you put on weight? Is it good for a meal? Is it fuck. It's a figment of the imagination."
"I'm fucking glad I'm back, mate, because I know for a fact they're sitting there - and you say they might be happy - but they're sitting there going, "FuckĀ me, mate. He's come again, man. Two divorces, fucking illegitimate kids, fucking two failed bands behind him, three bad haircutsĀ and he's still fucking coming. Oh, and I'm gonna fucking come even more, mate, do you know what I mean? Because that's the way it is. That's who I am. That's what I do. I'm not gonna sit back and let them win. So they should be fucking scared. They should be afraid. Without a doubt. This is the third coming."Ā
